ORGANIC Flashcards
Is the more electronegative element the oxidising or reducing agent?
oxidising agent
When something gains electrons in a reaction it is called the ? agent and it is?.
oxidising agent, it is reduced
What happens to oxidation state when something is oxidised?
oxidation number increases
What is oxidation in terms of oxygen?
When oxygen is gained to form an oxide
What is the charge on SO4?
2-
Group 2 elements always have an oxidation state of?
+2
What is the mnemonic for remembering ‘usually rules’?
Faries Hate Orange Clovers
What is disproportionation?
when the same element is oxidised and reduced
CN + HALOGENOALKANE reacts to make
nitrile
What are the conditions for the elimination of a haloalkene?
KOH ethanolic
Why are TMS peaks easy to detect?
TMS has one carbon environment but there are four carbons in the environment so it produces one high-intensity peak, making et easy to detect.
Where does the TMS peak appear in NMR and why?
Further to the right because the carbons have more electron density as they are close to a low electronegativity Si
Why is it easy to remove TMS from a sample?
TMS is very volatile / has a low boiling point
What makes TMS a good universal NMR standard?
Non-reactive, Volatile/low boiling point/ non-toxic, one carbon environment, doesn’t react with other peaks
Which type of NMR is simpler?
H NMR
What scale is used for recording chemical shift?
δ
What does chemical shift depend on?
The molecular environment
How are H NMR Sample obtained?
Using samples dissolved in deuterated solvents or CCl4
What is the n+1 rule?
Splitting is equal to the number or neighboring non equivalent hydrogens plus one. Excluding hydrogens bonded to hydrogen or oxygen.
Hydrogens bonded to O or N result in?
No splitting and the peaks do not split themselves
H NMR uses which standard?
TMS
Components travel faster through the column in chromatography when….
They have lower retention in the stationary phase and higher solubility in the moving phase
In gas and column chromatography? is measured.
Retention time
Compared to similar-sized molecules amino acids have a ? boiling point?
much higher
How do amino acids appear in neutral conditions?
Zwitterions
Are amino acids soluble in water?
yes
